Обзор Google Photos could start hiding some media tools (APK teardown)

[Обзор]

• Google Photos currently offers multiple ways to view media details and access extended tools.
• The app is working on splitting that interface up and eliminating redundancy in the process.
• This change could threaten to make some tools a lot less visible.

Good software design is as much art as science, and more than just being functional, we demand that the best apps offer intuitive, graceful interfaces. After all, even the most powerful software tool in the world will struggle to catch on if it’s just an abject pain to actually use. Developers have managed to hone a sense for what works and what doesn’t over the years, but sometimes you just can’t tell how a new interface is really going to feel until you actually try it. We’re thinking about just this as we check out some in-progress work on Google Photos, and wonder if it’s worth breaking what already works reasonably well.
